TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — Reporting on football practice can be a dangerous game, but we stand tall for the readers.

Sometimes that means standing in the line of fire during quarterback passing drills. Trying to get the right angle on what the receivers see when Alabama's passers launch one to the side line, I got a little bit spooked.

Perhaps Jacob Coker is tired of seeing his name too much in the media. Maybe he just put a little too much juice on it. But the Florida State transfer winged one over at Lane Kiffin that missed the target by a little. You'll see the moment in the video above when the camera jumps a little.

He throws fast. Thanks, Lane, for stepping in front.

So what if it's a "slight exaggeration" to say we were in "danger" at any point. But take a look at the footage above to see what it looks like to have Alabama's quarterbacks throw the ball on a rope in your direction. It's also worth noting Kiffin has a nice arm for the return throws back to the quarterbacks.

Start watching at the 17-second mark for the fun part, but stay tuned for a look at Amari Cooper and Robert Foster going up to catch some passes a few minutes later.
